History

Genpass, Inc., formed the MoneyPass ATM network in October 2003 by merging two existing regional ATM networks that it had already owned, MoneyMaker in Texas and MoneyBelt in Tennessee.[6] Union Planters, with nearly 900 ATMs located in 12 states, was a charter member.[7] In December 2003, the regional supermarket chain Minyard Food Stores installed MoneyPass ATMs at its 72 stores.[8] By June 2004, MoneyPass had 200 participants and 8,000 ATMs.[9] Zions Bank joined in September 2004, adding 200 ATMs in Utah and Idaho.[10] Credit Union 24, which represents 410 credit unions with a total of 2,800 ATMs in 23 states, made a reciprocal agreement in November 2004 which would allow members of each networks to access ATMs on the other network surcharge free.[11]

MoneyPass had 8,000 ATMs in all 50 states by the time Citibank joined its network in October 2004 which added 2,600 Citibank ATMs to the network.[12]

U.S. Bancorp acquired Genpass along with MoneyPass for an undisclosed amount in May 2005[13] and added its ATMs to the network to form a 12,000 ATM network in June 2006.[14]

In June 2005, KeyCorp signed an agreement with MoneyPass to allow Credit Unions and its other financial institutional clients that it services the option to connect to the MoneyPass network.[15][16]

In July 2012, Kroger signed an agreement with U.S. Bancorp to have its Kroger Prepaid Debit Card customers be allowed surcharge free access at all MoneyPass ATMs.[17]

In August 2017, 7-Eleven signed an agreement with MoneyPass to have its ATMs at 8,000 of its 10,900 its American stores be a part of the surcharge free network.[18]

In September 2018, Fiserv announced that it would acquire MoneyPass from US Bancorp for $690 million.[19] The deal was finalized in March 2019. At the time of the sale, MoneyPass had 33,000 ATMs.[1]
